Bone on bone is not good and quite painful.. That is what eventually led me to stem cell injections.
I’ve had 2 kinds of gel injections that last less than a year, but helped. But I needed a longer solution, that was NOT knee replacements. Now I’ve had 2 stem cell injections and they have created a space between bones. And I had no pain with the “shots”.
See if he can recommend a brace that will ease the pain where you have it. There are all sorts of of them out there. You just need to find someone to help you find the right one. Maybe a sports doc?
I remembered you’d had something done that helped but not for all that long. I couldn’t remember if it was gel injections or something else. It sounds like the stem cell injections are doing a better job. You have space between the bones again.
Either injection sounds better than surgery any day!
I’m glad you have found the right solution for your knee problems. I remember that they were causing you much pain for a long time. I have a friend who I think has had those stem-cell injections and they helped her, too.
I figure it’ll come to that eventually with mine. I forgot to ask him about a brace. When I found that I couldn’t put weight on my leg with the sore knee after the injection, I sort of panicked. Thank GOODNESS my hubby went with me. I almost told him to just stay home. But I couldn’t have made it out to the parking lot, much less have driven home.
